Chapter 563: The Inexplicable Murder Strikes Again
As Wang Shiqiao said, Zhou Yu did not have the motive and intention to kill Zhang Dingsi, but Qi Changkong did, but these are all speculations, no investigation, and it is difficult to conclude.
Li Mi has an official body and a martial arts master, and when he comes to the place, he also has some privileges, although he can't interfere with the judiciary, but it doesn't hurt to follow and see.
Wang Shiqiao splashed his face with cold water, took Li Mi Zhen Mi, and rushed to the east of the city.
Although Zhang Dingsi came to Nanjing to retire, he has a great reputation after all, and he has a lot of achievements in literary affairs.
Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica was entrusted to Wang Shizhen, asking Wang Shizhen to publish it to the world and benefit the times, but Wang Shizhen wrote to the court several times, but failed to get approval, and even if he died, this matter still could not be implemented.
At present, it is Zhang Dingsi who is leading a few people to proofread and inspect this masterpiece, and Zhang Dingsi himself has made a lot of achievements in historical research, and he is still relatively prestigious in the academic world.
It is precisely because of this that at this time, the Zhang family is also crying, and the pusher is also anxious, while letting people search for traces, while comforting the family, it is also miserable, and it is also happy to see Wang Shiqiao coming.
Although Wang Shiqiang is only the main business of the official yamen, he has a wide network of contacts and deep contacts, and many affairs of the yamen are really not good without Wang Shiqiang, especially the matter of human contacts, which is half relieved to be handed over to Wang Shiqiang.
After all, Wang Shiqiao was originally a gentleman, and there was a face in Nanjing, whether it was in the literary world or in the officialdom, he had a lot of friendships.
"You are here, quickly persuade this family, otherwise the brothers will not be able to work!"
The pusher smelled Wang Shiqiao's drunken body, and brought two fresh faces, one of which was actually a woman, and immediately said dissatisfied.
"Lord Wang, this is not right, this Zhang Dingsi is a highly respected person, this incident happened, it is not possible to bring friends to join in the fun, let them leave quickly, if you let the bitter lord see it, I am afraid that it will make trouble again!"
Wang Shiqiang was about to explain, those crying people in Zhang's mansion really came over!
The Zhang family and the Wang family were originally incompatible, Zhang Dingsi took the lead in impeaching Qi Jiguang, and Wang Shizhen did not have a good impression of him, although Zhang Dingsi was not as good as Wang Shizhen in the literary world, but the contradictions between the two families were becoming more and more obvious.
Wang Shiqiao is a lazy character, he was prodigal and exaggerated in his early years, and he was not very interested in these family contradictions, if it wasn't for Li Mi's reminder, he wouldn't even think of Zhang Dingsi, after all, he was not interested in literary affairs, but the children of the Zhang family were all resentful!
Wang Shiqiao regrouped and became the head of the Yamen, and his ability to handle cases is well-known, although Wang Shizhen is dead, the Wang family has not declined, and the people of the Zhang family are also red-eyed.
At this time, I saw that Wang Shiqiao was actually full of alcohol, standing outside and being verbose, with two irrelevant people, how could they bear it!
Li Mi and Zhen Mi have been dusty all the way, their complexions are not good, and their disguises can't be too conspicuous, so they are dressed plainly.
The people of the Zhang family came over and accused Wang Shiqiao and said: "Wang Shiqiao! Where are you and my Zhang family! The old man is harmful, you are too late, and you dare to bring irrelevant people to see the excitement, do you understand the truth that the dead are great! ”
Saying this, others also helped, and the scene was in a commotion.
Wang Shiqiao was also annoyed, the official had no eyes and made him a little angry, this family actually came to make noise again, although he Wang Shiqiao changed his mind, but he still has a temper!
"You also know that the dead are great! Zhang Dingsi's bones are not cold, what are you doing here! ”
In the end, he was mixed in the officialdom and was born in a family of eunuchs, as soon as Wang Shiqiao opened his voice, he suppressed these people, and then he pointed to Li Midao.
"You and the other people who have nothing to do with each other are the newly promoted martial arts masters, Li Mi Li Jue, this generation of the Son of Heaven has inspected the place, and he happened to come to Jinling, you are so noisy, where is there still a little face in the place!"
Although Li Mi gave up all his official positions, in order to reassure Zhu Yijun, he even took the initiative to resign from the post of governor and minister of Shenji Xinying, but Zhu Yijun also reciprocated Li and gave Li Mi a privilege to inspect, in order to let the local officialdom cooperate with Li Mi to hunt down Zhou Yu and the remnants of Wu Ying.
Therefore, Wang Shiqiang did not deliberately intimidate, and the knighthood was too rare in the Ming Dynasty, and it had been more than 20 years since the Wanli Dynasty before Li Chengliang, a big man in the military world, was named Ning Yuanbo, and Li Mi was awarded the title of martial arts uncle, which was too sensational.
What's more, the Zhang family's family background, close to the literary world, likes to inquire about things in the court the most, even if Zhang Dingsi stepped down from retirement and heard that Li Mi was named a martial arts uncle, he still wrote a book to admonish, and the Zhang family knew it.
Zhang Dingsi, a scientific and Taoist official, his main job is to impeach others, and the Ming Dynasty's speech officials also have performance appraisals, impeachment is not enough for so many people, you have to be punished, the court encourages you to impeach others, whether there is evidence or not, even if it is just the gossip heard by the old woman next door, you can also impeach.
Zhang Dingsi, a person who even impeached Qi Jiguang, was impeached once a year, once for 365 days, twice a year, and once for six months.
The officials in the court almost poured out of the nest, and they were all impeaching Li Mi, especially when they learned that Li Mi was just from a fast arrest, they were even more red-eyed.
is also due to the fact that Zhang Dingsi still wants to impeach Li Mi after he stepped down, and the Zhang family is really thunderous about Li Mi, a martial arts master, and at this time, when he heard Wang Shiqiao's introduction, he was also shocked!
The magistrate was also sincerely afraid, and he didn't say anything more excessive, and he was secretly glad in his heart at this time.
Wang Shizhen's business ability is not bad, but most of them are still eating the old book of connections, Wang Shizhen has been dead for three years, and the Wang family is already a thin camel, so he, the pusher, is actually not very optimistic about Wang Shiqiao.
But now it's different, inspecting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, in other words, it's the minister of the Qin Mission, not to mention that Li Mi is still a martial artist!
Li Mi didn't want to be so high-profile, but Wang Shiqiao had already spoken, so he couldn't hide it anymore, so he took a gold medal and came out to shine brightly, and he didn't wait for the official to come over and stammer, so he said to the relatives of the Zhang family.
"Let's go see Mr. Zhang first, and don't say much else."
Li Mi walks in the palace all the year round, and even Zhu Yijun tells him about his hardships, he has seen too many nobles, as soon as this magnanimity is released, who dares to squeak half a sentence!
Li Mi didn't want to interfere too much in the investigation, but if it was confirmed that Qi Changkong did it, he would have to intervene.
The Zhang family obediently led Li Mi to the room, and when they arrived outside the room, they saw many servants coming out of it.
Li Mi frowned suddenly, Wang Shiqiao has done a lot of cases, this scene has been cleaned up like this, it has been completely destroyed, where are there any clues!
The Zhang family is also a family of scholars, but they are idealistic, advocating officialdom and not much practice in local government affairs.
"Since it is a murder case, the public will take measures in the future, how can you clean up the murder scene without authorization, you have erased all traces of the murderer, this is simply an accomplice!"
Hearing Wang Shiqiao's reprimand, the Zhang family also looked embarrassed, but they didn't seem to care too much in their hearts, and just defended: "The old man has been a decent person all his life, and if he makes people harmful, he can't be so ugly......"
Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that this family was really weird.
But it doesn't matter, because Zhang Dingsi is an old civil official, Qi Changkong has been tempered under Zhou Yu for so many years, it is easy to kill him, there is no need to think about it at all, it doesn't matter what is on the scene.
Wang Shiqiao and the Zhang family were still theorizing, but Li Mi had already walked into the room, and at this time, Zhang Dingsi was really placed on the bed, and even covered with a brand new quilt.
The floor was a little slippery, and the servants even cleaned the blood stains on the floor, and the quilts were replaced.
His eyes were slightly closed, and by the light of the light, he could see his eyes that were as cloudy as ground glass, but there was a circle of marks at the corners of his eyes.
Li Mi was a little puzzled, it is said that with Qi Changkong's ability, even if he didn't use a sword, he could kill Zhang Dingsi, why did he leave bloodstains?
Li Mi untied Zhang Dingsi's clothes, and indeed did not find a sword wound, but a depression in his chest, which could clearly touch the broken ribs, thinking that the ribs were broken, piercing the lungs, leading to the final death.
In addition, Zhang Dingsi has no scars, although Zhang Dingsi is old, his body is tough, he can break his ribs with one punch, and he is so accurate, even if he is not a master, he should be an expert.
But this can't be concluded that it was Qi Changkong's doing, an old guy like Zhang Dingsi, hiring a Jianghu man who has seen blood, can actually do it.
However, if Zhang Dingsi had not set off an upsurge of impeachment of Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang would not have ended gloomily, although Qi Yin's death had nothing to do with Zhang Dingsi, but Qi Changkong definitely had the motive to kill Zhang Dingsi!
Maybe others can't think of this, but Li Mi can think of it, because he knows Qi Changkong too well.
Hatred is the food that raised Qi Changkong to grow up, and it is precisely because of hatred that Qi Changkong is more outstanding than other children and has brought him to this day.
However, Qi Chu re-emerged from the mountain, Qi Jiguang and Qi Yin were rehabilitated, all the burdens and dirty water that pressed on the Qi family were washed away, and Qi Changkong had no source of hatred.
He needs psychological empathy to meet his need for motivation to live, in layman's terms, only hate can make him strong, everything Qi Chu has done makes him hateful, he can only transfer to others.
The participants of the year were the first choice, but with the passage of time, the participants have gradually died of old age, so people like Zhang Dingsi will become the second choice!
After Zhang Dingsi's second choice is cleaned up, Qi Changkong will find a third choice, but anyone who is somewhat involved with the Qi family, bad for the Qi family, or even bad things about the Qi family, will become his target!
However, psychological profiling is not evidence after all, but only an auxiliary, and if you want to confirm that the murderer is Qi Changkong, you still need evidence to support it.
But it is obvious that Qi Changkong did not use the murder weapon, and the Zhang family's almost stupid actions also cleaned up the scene, and how to find evidence has become Li Mi's top priority.
And this top priority is still urgent, because killing Zhang Dingsi is just a matter of convenience, killing Zhang Dingsi, Qi Changkong will look for the next target, or with Zhou Yu leaving, no matter which one it is, it will prompt Li Mi to close the case as soon as possible, otherwise either the next victim will appear, or Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong will run away!
